Ledenbach, Mark B.Vintage Halloween Collectibles Identification & Price GuideKrause Publications. 2003 0873495624 / 9780873495622 Softcover Very Good with no dust jacket 0.52 x 11 x 8.22 Inches; 208 pages; Halloween was once considered an adult practice referred to as "going a-souling," but it was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given ale, food, and money. The tradition of trick-or-treating can be traced back to the early 1900s, but the decorations of all things scary began much before that. Some time around the late 1800s pumpkins, witches, black cats, and ghouls began appearing in parades, adorning city streets, and decorating homes.
